The Research on Combustion and Emission Performance of Biodiesel - Diesel Blended Fuel

Abstract:

According to the different volume ratios, soybean biodiesel is mixed with 0# diesel by 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. These blends (B0, B20, B40, B60 and B80) are tested using Xinchai 490B diesel engine for their combustion and emission performance. It is concluded that output power first increases and then decreases as the volume ratio increases, while higher fuel consumption is presented. Meanwhile, smoke emission of B80 decreases remarkably up to 30.4% versus B0. NOX emission also increases slightly under engine external characteristic condition.
